The U.

(History begins to suffer a bit along about this point.) A U. S. Marine unit, headed by LieutenantO'Bannon, was sent to attack them from the rear. He organized his unit around Hamet, Pasha of Tripoli, in exile after being overthrown by his brother. In Hamet's court was Sheila D'Arneau, a diploma's daughter, who disguises herself as a dancing girl, and joins the group of eight U. S. Marines and Hamet supporters in their march across the Libyan desert. O'Bannon and Shelia argue all the way to Tripoli.

HymnLyrics:
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job
The United StatesMarines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If theArmy and the NavyEver look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

Each branch of the military in the United States has its own song. The Army has "The Cassion Song," the Navy has "Anchors Aweigh," and the Air Force "Off We GoInto the WildBlue Yonder." The Marines' song, the oldest of the official songs, is immediately distinguished by its title: it is the Marines' Hymn. The title of "Hymn" means that this is not a song to be played for the sake of merriment. It is not a fight song. It is a sign of tremendous reverence and respect.
In theMarine Corps, this is exactly how the Hymn is used: it is most often sung at attention as a sign of respect. It is an important part of Marines culture - every Marine can recite it by heart. On some occasions, the third verse is used for toasts at formal events.
The first lines refer to two important events in the Marines' history. "The Halls of Montezuma" referes to Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City, which the Marines stormed during the Mexican-American War. The capture of this castle was essential to the Americans' ability to overtake Mexico City.
"The Shores of Tripoli" refers to the Marines' victory in the 1805 Battle of Derne during the First Barbary War, in which a small group of Marines led a ragtag assemblage of mercenaries to capture the city of Derne in the Ottoman Empire. The Marines' force was able to do this before the infantry of the Ottoman Empire arrived, making for the first time the United States flag had ever been flown overseas.
The next two verses refer to the Marines' utilization of aircraft, ships, and infantry in their warfare. This line originally went "On the land as on the sea," but was changed in 1942 to reflect the addition of aircraft to the Marines' arsenal.
The second stanza is a testament to the Marines' constant vigilance and presence across the entire globe. Interestingly, there is quite a large collection of extra verses to the hymn which are each dedicated to someplace where the Marines have fought for their nation.
The final stanza shows the Marines' pride in their affiliation with the Corps and their belief that they are the toughest of all the branches in the military (a belief that oddly seems to be held by every branch). It is also a brag that the Marines are always the first to arrive to a scene, even the scenes of heaven.
There is much mythology surrounding the writing of the Marines' Hymn. The first written record of the hymn is from 1919, but the song was known to have been in use during the 19th century. A commonly held belief is that the song was written by a Marine stationed in Mexico during the Mexican-American War. The tune of the hymn is most strongly believed to have come from a French opera called Geneviève de Brabant, written by by Jacques Offenbach. There are also indications, however, that the tune comes from a Spanish folk song.
The Marines' Hymn was actually a large motivation for John Phillip Sousa to write "Semper Fidelis" during his own time in the Marines. Sousa considered it to be the finest work of his life, saying "I wrote this march one night while in tears, after my comrades of the Marine Corps had sung their famous hymn in Quantico." The march is titled after the Marines' motto, which means "always faithful" in Latin. It is now the official march of the Marine Corps.
The Marine's Hymn has been and always will be an integral part of the culture of the Marines and the culture of the United States in general. It is a sign of homage for the warriors who secure our freedom every day, for whom we are eternally thankful. Semper Fi is a motto of not just the Marines, but every American citizen whom they protect.

When a Berber bandit kidnapped an ex-pat American in Morocco in 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt issued a stern demand calling for his release, only to learn that the 64-year-old male had renounced his U. S. citizenship. Roosevelt doubled down lest he appear weak and sent a dozen Marines into Tangier. The 1975 film The Wind and the Lion substitutes gorgeous Candance Bergen and two children for the actual victim, and has a squadron of Marines assault the pasha’s palace, an entirely fictional event. The scene demonstrates how Hollywood manufactures drama to sell tickets but, beyond the deception, the scene does convey how outgunned Islamic forces were at the time, and the U. S. commander’s agreement with the pasha that Roosevelt must be “mad” is priceless and, some may feel, conveys an essential truth. The film’s rather positive view of Imperialism also accurately portrays prevailing views in the West.

The Marines are in fact portrayed incorrectly in the1820 pattern uniform. Eaton is shown looking on the final battle from aboard a ship. He took direct part in the fighting at the water battery.

History

The lyrics are contained in the book Rhymes of the Rookies published in 1917. The author of these poems was W.E. Christian. The book is available online in several formats. The book consists of a series of poems regarding military life prior to World War I.

Tripoli

Tripoli (Arabic:طرابلس‎, Ṭarābulus; Berber: Ṭrables) is the de jurecapital city and the largest city of Libya. Tripoli, with its metropolitan area, has a population of about 3,200,000 million people. The city is located in the northwestern part of Libya on the edge of the desert, on a point of rocky land projecting into the Mediterranean and forming a bay.

Tripoli was founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who named it Oea. Due to the city's long history, there are many sites of archaeological significance in Tripoli. "Tripoli" may also refer to the shabiyah (top-level administrative division in the current Libyan system), the Tripoli District.

Marines

Marines, also known as a marine corps and naval infantry, are an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations on land and at sea, as well as the execution of their own operations. In the majority of countries, the marine force is part of the navy, but it can also be under the army like the Troupes de marine (French Marines) and Givati Brigade (Israeli Marines), or form an independent armed service branch like the United States Marine Corps and Royal Marines.

Historically, tasks undertaken by marines have included providing protection from war while at sea, reflecting the pressed nature of the ships' company and the risk of mutiny. Other tasks would include boarding of vessels during combat or capture of prize ships and providing manpower for raiding ashore in support of the naval objectives.

With the industrialization of warfare in the 20th century the scale of landing operations increased; this brought with it an increased likelihood of opposition and a need for co-ordination of various military elements. Marine forces evolved to specialize in the skills and capabilities required for amphibious warfare.

First Barbary War

The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Tripolitanian War and the Barbary Coast War, was the first of two Barbary Wars between the United States and the four North African Muslim states known collectively as the "Barbary States". Three of these were nominal provinces of the Ottoman Empire, but in practice autonomous: Tripoli, Algiers, and Tunis. The fourth was the independent Sultanate of Morocco. The cause of the war was pirates from the Barbary States seizing American merchant ships and holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay tribute to the Barbary rulers. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute.

Background and overview

Barbary corsairs and crews from the North African Ottoman provinces of Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and the independent Sultanate of Morocco under the Alaouite dynasty (the Barbary Coast) were the scourge of the Mediterranean. Capturing merchant ships and enslaving or ransoming their crews provided the Muslim rulers of these nations with wealth and naval power. The Roman Catholic Trinitarian Order, or order of "Mathurins", had operated from France for centuries with the special mission of collecting and disbursing funds for the relief and ransom of prisoners of Mediterranean pirates. According to Robert Davis, between 1 and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves between the 16th and 19th centuries.

US Marines Hymn- From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli

@0:13 "to the shores of Tripoli". Libyans celebrate the overthrow of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi. The Libyan tricolor was the nation's flag prior to Gaddafi's 1969 coup- and now its back, along with democracy.
Its important to note that after the 2012 terrorist attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, hundreds of people took to the streets to protest the attack; their signs read "Thank you Mr. Chris Stevens, we will always remember you", "USA we are sorry" and "this does not represent Benghazi or Islam".
@0:24 "you are now crossing the 38th parallel." Barely five years after ww2 the US was once again fighting a brutal dictatorship. South Korea is free, and one day the North will be too.
@0:37 In 1995 the US did what it should've done in 1992- bombed the sh*t out of Serbian military positions in Bosnia, telling Milosevic his atrocities wouldn't be tolerated.
@0:39 Bill Clinton salutes American troops in Kosovo. In 1999Serbian troops drove nearly a million Albanians from their home and killed thousands of civilians. Then the US bombed Belgrade for a few weeks. World policeman? We'll take that as a compliment.
@0:42 and 0:47 Kosovars celebrate independence in 2008- waving American flags, in gratitude to the US' role in stopping Milosevic.
@1:30 Iraqi-Americans in Detroit celebrate the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. They didn't show that on Al Jazeera, but...
@1:37 one of the many giant posters of Saddam Hussein defaced as soon as the Americans showed up in 2003.

http://DemocracyBroadcasting.com US MarineCorporalPaul Basinger of Pocomoke City, MD explains the history reflected in the opening lines of the Marines' Hymn. At the EventExpo & ExhibitArea presented by L.A.Fleet WeekLeadershipCouncil, at the L.A. Fleet Week 3 Sept '17.
The Marines' Hymn is a tribute to Marine warriors who stormed fortress Derna, raised the American flag, and gave us "the shores of Tripoli" in stopping Barbary pirates of Morocco, Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli. Marines fought their way into the castle at Chapultepec and gave us the "halls of Montezuma." They "fight for right and freedom" and "to keep our honor clean." They fight "in the air, on land, and sea."
Barbary Pirates, in addition to seizing ships, engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, but also in the British Isles, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland. The main purpose of their attacks was to capture Christian slaves for the Ottoman slave trade as well as the general Muslim slavery market in North Africa and the Middle East.
The Barbary pirates' demanded "tribute" (i.e. extortion) from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom. When Thomas Jefferson became third President in March 1801, he refused to pay tribute and sent a United StatesNaval fleet to the Mediterranean; they bombarded the various fortified pirate cities, ultimately extracting concessions of fair passage from their rulers. Both the administrations of Thomas Jefferson and following fourth President James Madison undertook actions against the Barbary states at different times. Jefferson led the first, from 1801 to 1805, against pirates' cities in what are today Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria. Madison directed military forces for the second war in 1815, shortly after the conclusion of the War of 1812 against the British.
The Marines' Hymn has remained a revered icon of the United States Marine Corps for almost 200 years. In 1929 The Marines' Hymn became the official hymn of the Corps. Thirteen years later in November 1942 the Commandant approved a change in the words of the first verse, fourth line. Because of the increasing use of aircraft in the Corps, the words were changed to "In the air, on land, and sea." No other changes have been made since that time. When you have attained absolute perfection, there is no need for further modification:
♫ From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze,
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job --
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the NavyEver look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines. ♫
Sir Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister, became an ardent admirer of the U.S. Marine Corps. In the company of guests of state, he often demonstrated his respect for U.S. Marines by reciting, from memory, all three verses of The Marines' Hymn. (Source: http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/marine_hymn.htm)
The Barbary Wars: At issue was the Barbary (Morocco & Libya) pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom. When Thomas Jefferson became third President in March 1801, he refused to pay tribute and sent a United States Naval fleet to the Mediterranean; they bombarded the various fortified pirate cities, ultimately extracting concessions of fair passage from their rulers. Both the administrations of Thomas Jefferson and following fourth President James Madison undertook actions against the Barbary states at different times.

In theMarine Corps, this is exactly how the Hymn is used: it is most often sung at attention as a sign of respect. It is an important part of Marines culture - every Marine can recite it by heart. On some occasions, the third verse is used for toasts at formal events.

The tune of the hymn is most strongly believed to have come from a French opera called Geneviève de Brabant, written by by Jacques Offenbach.

The Marines' Hymn was actually a large motivation for John Phillip Sousa to write "Semper Fidelis" during his own time in the Marines. Sousa considered it to be the finest work of his life, saying "I wrote this march one night while in tears, after my comrades of the Marine Corps had sung their famous hymn in Quantico."

HymnLyrics:
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job
The United StatesMarines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If theArmy and the NavyEver look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
VideoScript:
Each branch of the military in the United States has its own song. The Army has "The Cassion Song," the Navy has "Anchors Aweigh," and the Air Force "Off We GoInto the WildBlue Yonder." The Marines' song, the oldest of the official songs, is immediately distinguished by its title: it is the Marines' Hymn. The title of "Hymn" means that this is not a song to be played for the sake of merriment. It is not a fight song. It is a sign of tremendous reverence and respect.
In theMarine Corps, this is exactly how the Hymn is used: it is most often sung at attention as a sign of respect. It is an important part of Marines culture - every Marine can recite it by heart. On some occasions, the third verse is used for toasts at formal events.
The first lines refer to two important events in the Marines' history. "The Halls of Montezuma" referes to Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City, which the Marines stormed during the Mexican-American War. The capture of this castle was essential to the Americans' ability to overtake Mexico City.
"The Shores of Tripoli" refers to the Marines' victory in the 1805 Battle of Derne during the First Barbary War, in which a small group of Marines led a ragtag assemblage of mercenaries to capture the city of Derne in the Ottoman Empire. The Marines' force was able to do this before the infantry of the Ottoman Empire arrived, making for the first time the United States flag had ever been flown overseas.
The next two verses refer to the Marines' utilization of aircraft, ships, and infantry in their warfare. This line originally went "On the land as on the sea," but was changed in 1942 to reflect the addition of aircraft to the Marines' arsenal.
The second stanza is a testament to the Marines' constant vigilance and presence across the entire globe. Interestingly, there is quite a large collection of extra verses to the hymn which are each dedicated to someplace where the Marines have fought for their nation.
The final stanza shows the Marines' pride in their affiliation with the Corps and their belief that they are the toughest of all the branches in the military (a belief that oddly seems to be held by every branch). It is also a brag that the Marines are always the first to arrive to a scene, even the scenes of heaven.
There is much mythology surrounding the writing of the Marines' Hymn. The first written record of the hymn is from 1919, but the song was known to have been in use during the 19th century. A commonly held belief is that the song was written by a Marine stationed in Mexico during the Mexican-American War. The tune of the hymn is most strongly believed to have come from a French opera called Geneviève de Brabant, written by by Jacques Offenbach. There are also indications, however, that the tune comes from a Spanish folk song.
The Marines' Hymn was actually a large motivation for John Phillip Sousa to write "Semper Fidelis" during his own time in the Marines. Sousa considered it to be the finest work of his life, saying "I wrote this march one night while in tears, after my comrades of the Marine Corps had sung their famous hymn in Quantico." The march is titled after the Marines' motto, which means "always faithful" in Latin. It is now the official march of the Marine Corps.
The Marine's Hymn has been and always will be an integral part of the culture of the Marines and the culture of the United States in general. It is a sign of homage for the warriors who secure our freedom every day, for whom we are eternally thankful. Semper Fi is a motto of not just the Marines, but every American citizen whom they protect.

When a Berber bandit kidnapped an ex-pat American in Morocco in 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt issued a stern demand calling for his release, only to learn that the 64-year-old male had renounced his U. S. citizenship. Roosevelt doubled down lest he appear weak and sent a dozen Marines into Tangier. The 1975 film The Wind and the Lion substitutes gorgeous Candance Bergen and two children for the actual victim, and has a squadron of Marines assault the pasha’s palace, an entirely fictional event. The scene demonstrates how Hollywood manufactures drama to sell tickets but, beyond the deception, the scene does convey how outgunned Islamic forces were at the time, and the U. S. commander’s agreement with the pasha that Roosevelt must be “mad” is priceless and, some may feel, conveys an essential truth. The film’s rather positive view of Imperialism also accurately portrays prevailing views in the West.
The clip is from The Wind and the Lion (1975).

He unleashed the Marines and Greeks in their desperate charge that ultimately broke through the Tripolitan position.

@0:13 "to the shores of Tripoli". Libyans celebrate the overthrow of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi. The Libyan tricolor was the nation's flag prior to Gaddafi's 1969 coup- and now its back, along with democracy.
Its important to note that after the 2012 terrorist attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, hundreds of people took to the streets to protest the attack; their signs read "Thank you Mr. Chris Stevens, we will always remember you", "USA we are sorry" and "this does not represent Benghazi or Islam".
@0:24 "you are now crossing the 38th parallel." Barely five years after ww2 the US was once again fighting a brutal dictatorship. South Korea is free, and one day the North will be too.
@0:37 In 1995 the US did what it should've done in 1992- bombed the sh*t out of Serbian military positions in Bosnia, telling Milosevic his atrocities wouldn't be tolerated.
@0:39 Bill Clinton salutes American troops in Kosovo. In 1999Serbian troops drove nearly a million Albanians from their home and killed thousands of civilians. Then the US bombed Belgrade for a few weeks. World policeman? We'll take that as a compliment.
@0:42 and 0:47 Kosovars celebrate independence in 2008- waving American flags, in gratitude to the US' role in stopping Milosevic.
@1:30 Iraqi-Americans in Detroit celebrate the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. They didn't show that on Al Jazeera, but...
@1:37 one of the many giant posters of Saddam Hussein defaced as soon as the Americans showed up in 2003.

http://DemocracyBroadcasting.com US MarineCorporalPaul Basinger of Pocomoke City, MD explains the history reflected in the opening lines of the Marines' Hymn. At the EventExpo & ExhibitArea presented by L.A.Fleet WeekLeadershipCouncil, at the L.A. Fleet Week 3 Sept '17.
The Marines' Hymn is a tribute to Marine warriors who stormed fortress Derna, raised the American flag, and gave us "the shores of Tripoli" in stopping Barbary pirates of Morocco, Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli. Marines fought their way into the castle at Chapultepec and gave us the "halls of Montezuma." They "fight for right and freedom" and "to keep our honor clean." They fight "in the air, on land, and sea."
Barbary Pirates, in addition to seizing ships, engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, but also in the British Isles, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland. The main purpose of their attacks was to capture Christian slaves for the Ottoman slave trade as well as the general Muslim slavery market in North Africa and the Middle East.
The Barbary pirates' demanded "tribute" (i.e. extortion) from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom. When Thomas Jefferson became third President in March 1801, he refused to pay tribute and sent a United StatesNaval fleet to the Mediterranean; they bombarded the various fortified pirate cities, ultimately extracting concessions of fair passage from their rulers. Both the administrations of Thomas Jefferson and following fourth President James Madison undertook actions against the Barbary states at different times. Jefferson led the first, from 1801 to 1805, against pirates' cities in what are today Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria. Madison directed military forces for the second war in 1815, shortly after the conclusion of the War of 1812 against the British.
The Marines' Hymn has remained a revered icon of the United States Marine Corps for almost 200 years. In 1929 The Marines' Hymn became the official hymn of the Corps. Thirteen years later in November 1942 the Commandant approved a change in the words of the first verse, fourth line. Because of the increasing use of aircraft in the Corps, the words were changed to "In the air, on land, and sea." No other changes have been made since that time. When you have attained absolute perfection, there is no need for further modification:
♫ From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title

Sir Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister, became an ardent admirer of the U.S. Marine Corps. In the company of guests of state, he often demonstrated his respect for U.S. Marines by reciting, from memory, all three verses of The Marines' Hymn.

The Barbary Wars: At issue was the Barbary (Morocco & Libya) pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom. When Thomas Jefferson became third President in March 1801, he refused to pay tribute and sent a United States Naval fleet to the Mediterranean; they bombarded the various fortified pirate cities, ultimately extracting concessions of fair passage from their rulers.

Travel video about destination USA - The West.
The west of North America is full of amazing contrast and stretches from the pretentious world of the Hollywood glitterati to a landscape that is both natural and spectacular. This journey features some unique and impressive sights such as the historic rock settlements of the Native American Indians and fascinating salt deserts and volcanic areas.Los Angeles is synonymous with Hollywood and it was here that this amazing city attained worldwide fame. The Sidewalk Of Fame is covered with brass stars that bear the names of famous celebrities of both past and present. Universal Studios is the largest and most active film and television studio in the world as well as providing a popular day out for the family and is one of the most successful amusement parks in the U.S.A. Death Valley covers an area of around ten thousand square kilometres. Around a fifth of the region is located at or below sea-level. During the gold rush of the nineteenth century it was through here that thousands of pioneers took a short cut while journeying west. They eventually arrived in a valley that offered no further way forward. Weakness, hunger and lack of water combined to create the name of this treacherous valley. Las Vegas is like a mirage in the desert, awake day and night it is THE entertainment capital of the world. The Bellagio is a return to the exclusive nature of the casino hotels of the past in which luxury is at its zenith and an investment of nearly two billion dollars speaks for itself. Sixteen hundred metres deep and sixteen kilometres long the Grand Canyon is the most colossal gorge in the world. The sight of this gigantic natural wonder is the climax of any trip to Arizona and each year around five million visitors come to see this, the ‘Eighth Wonder Of The World’. Natural wonders, amazing sights, boundless wealth and incredible neon: America’s west still has the call of the wild!

Welcome to Houston, Texas, one of the largest cities in the United States.
Once an outpost in the Old West, Houston is now a down-to-earth metropolis, boasting a tremendous shipping and energy industry, as well as plenty of culture.
Kick off your Houston tour at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park tucked beneath the city’s skyscrapers. You’ll find public art and plenty of space to picnic or go for walks. Houstoners take pride in their various parks, museums, and open spaces, like the Houston Arboretum, where you can go birdwatching, learn about green living, and hike the trails to explore local wildlife.
Speaking of exploring, your Houston sightseeing should include a trip to the USS Texas., This battleship served in two World Wars and now stands guard as a museum on the Buffalo Bayou. Head over to the Gulf for a walk on the beach while you watch the sunset, then get ready to gear up for the evening with some delicious TexMex shared with the locals. After you lose yourself in a few rounds of line dancing to burn off all those fajitas, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t come to Houston earlier.

Things to do in New York City (United States/America) travel guide tourism video

http://bookinghunter.com
Miami is a city located on the Atlantic coast in southeastern Florida and the county seat of Miami-Dade County. The 42nd largest city proper in the United States, with a population of 408,568, it is the principal, central, and most populous city of the Miami metropolitan area, and the most populous metropolis in the Southeastern United States.
The most important places to visit in Miami are: Ocean Drive (the yearlong party atmosphere makes Ocean Drive the most exhilarating place in the United States), Art Deco Architecture (nowhere else in the world would you find such a concentration of colorful Art Deco style buildings), Vizcaya Museum and Gardens (a national historical landmark. It is a European style villa surrounded by lush gardens), Everglades (a unique natural environment. Get close and personal with alligators. Airboat rides are highly recommended), Beaches (some of the country's best beaches are here, and clearly the most fashionable) and many more.
If you want to save time and money, the most important Miami travel tip is to compare prices before booking a hotel room or a flight. You can do this for free on http://bookinghunter.com, a site that searches through hundreds of other travel websites in real time for the best travel deals available.

Tripoli Action 1950 John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, Howard Da Silva

The U. S.Marine Corps hymn starts with"From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli", and this film's story purports to be the reason why, and is give or take a few incidents in this movie: It is 1805 and the Tripoli pirates have challenged America's right to freedom of the seas---all of them, anywhere---so United Stares warships were sent to that port to bottle up their fleet and set the riff-raff right concerning who could sail where. (History begins to suffer a bit along about this point.) A U. S. Marine unit, headed by LieutenantO'Bannon, was sent to attack them from the rear. He organized his unit around Hamet, Pasha of Tripoli, in exile after being overthrown by his brother. In Hamet's court was Sheila D'Arneau, a diploma's daughter, who disguises herself as a dancing girl,...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps
The history of the United States Marine Corps began with the founding of the Continental Marines on 10 November1775 to conduct ship-to-ship fighting, provide shipboard security and discipline enforcement, and assist in landing forces. Its mission evolved with changing military doctrine and foreign policy of the United States. Owing to the availability of Marine forces at sea, the United States Marine Corps has served in nearly every conflict in United States history. It attained prominence when its theories and practice of amphibious warfare proved prescient, and ultimately formed a cornerstone of the Pacific Theater of World War II. By the early 20th century, the Marine Corps would become one of the dominant theorists and practitioners of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises has made and continues to make it an important tool for American foreign policy...The SecondContinental Congress convened in Philadelphia on 9 November 1775, consulting the Naval Committee to send an amphibious expedition to Halifax in Nova Scotia. Having launched two land expeditions toward the St. Lawrence River months earlier, (as Richard Montgomery's and Benedict Arnold's forces were each making their way toward Quebec City to join forces [later leading to the Battle of Quebec]), Congress was convinced that sending marines to fight at sea and engage military operations ashore were paramount in destroying an important British naval base in Halifax, and to procure enemy provisions and supplies, if possible. On 10 November 1775, the Naval Committee was directed by Congress to raise two marine battalions at the Continental expense. Also, Congress decided the marines will not only be used for the Nova Scotia expedition but for subsequent service thereafter. Henceforth, the Naval Committee established a network of appointments for offices; paymaster, commissions, procurements, equipment, etc., for establishing a future national corps of marines. The United States Marine Corps still celebrates 10 November, as its official birthday Borrowing from the Royal Navy, the practices and printed instructions were outlined in the "Rules for the Regulations of the Navy of the United Colonies." It was intended that the American marines would provide the same services as British marines...
Continental Congress appointed Rhode Island NavyCommodoreEsek Hopkins as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Navy on 22 December 1775...
By 17 February, the Continental Marines embarked onto Hopkin's six vessels for their maiden expedition. It was the first amphibious/expedition for the Continental Navy-Marine Corps. Hopkins was given the task to patrol the southern American coastline to intercept and clear any presence of British troops... for reasons that remain obscure, he disobeyed his ambitious orders to sweep the southern seas of British ships, and to safeguard the southern American coastline. Instead without proper authority he directed his squadron to head south en route to the Bahama Islands.
As he reach the Bahamas on 1 March 1776, his squadron began harassing small British forces guarding the small islands around New Providence Island, and raiding for gunpowder for Washington's army.
While Hopkins and Nicholas were sailing the Atlantic and Caribbean, Congress authorized the Marine Committee to purchase two more brigantines for the Continental Navy....

Henceforth, the Naval Committee established a network of appointments for offices; paymaster, commissions, procurements, equipment, etc., for establishing a future national corps of marines. The United States Marine Corps still celebrates 10 November, as its official birthday Borrowing from the Royal Navy, the practices and printed instructions were outlined in the "Rules for the Regulations of the Navy of the United Colonies."

Continental Congress appointed Rhode Island NavyCommodoreEsek Hopkins as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Navy on 22 December 1775...
By 17 February, the Continental Marines embarked onto Hopkin's six vessels for their maiden expedition. It was the first amphibious/expedition for the Continental Navy-Marine Corps. Hopkins was given the task to patrol the southern American coastline to intercept and clear any presence of British troops... for reasons that remain obscure, he disobeyed his ambitious orders to sweep the southern seas of British ships, and to safeguard the southern American coastline.

He organized his unit around Hamet, Pasha of Tripoli, in exile after being overthrown by his brother. In Hamet's court was Sheila D'Arneau, a diploma's daughter, who disguises herself as a dancing girl, and joins the group of eight U. S. Marines and Hamet supporters in their march across the Libyan desert. O'Bannon and Shelia argue all the way to Tripoli.
